Tickatus should never become viable, I will take 100 shamans over 1 tickatus.
I agree, but it is and its destroying all control decks, and a few otheres too. the issuee is theres not really a consistent way to disrupt it , or stop it. Theres has to be a counter made or its just stupidly OP to be able to play it so many times.

Yay more xp, which means more gold which can buy more packs. You still have to open on average 16 packs to get enough dust to craft a legendary you actually want.

A good idea, but not that realistic, considering how important pack openings are for revenue. Discovering could be a mechanic for end of season rewards, tavern pass milestones, expansion launch free cards, one time events etc.

I'm very happy about this. This is way more than I expected. Thank you Blizzard, genuinely. Now there will be no doubt that the rewards track is giving all players more resources.
However I'm still waiting for them to address the dust cost of legendaries. Varian Wrynn, Zilliax, Siamat and Edwin VanCleef should NOT cost the same amount of dust. They vary immensely in playability in different formats as well as power level historically and currently.
Imo Edwin VanCleef should cost the most because he's evergreen in Standard, Duels and can fit in many Rogue decks, and has always been a strong card throughout HS history. Varian Wrynn can currently only be played in Wild, requires a build-around deck and has never been part of the meta. If Edwin is going to cost 1600 dust, Thermaplugg should cost WAY less than 1600 dust.

I don't think the Grumble, Worldshaker and Doppelgangster package is needed in a C'Thun, the Shattered deck. It's too greedy imo.

Before going further you should craft Zilliax. Rusty Recycler is literally the budget version of him.

The new system is WAY better for slow players like me, but the game is getting more expensive and the people who can't afford control decks are still left in the dust. Blizzard deserves ZERO credit for doing the bare minimum, maybe if they make the full 170 card set at least 30% cheaper to complete. I want every player to be able to build a standard 4 old god control warrior when paying 60$ this expansion. That's very hard now if you open bad legendaries for a class you don't even play. Can we at least get a full dust refund 24 hours after opening a legendary? Nope, you're stuck with G'huun the Blood God and 2x Darkmoon Rabbit.

I agree that the cost of Hearthstone is indefensible and many people irrationally defend HS because of a sort of loyalty. That said, people who spend less than 10$ on a new expansion release contribute nothing to game development and shouldn't be taken seriously.
Most people defending blizzard only talk about the most insane demands like removing demon hunter, giving away half the cards for free etc. I know this is kind of doing the same strawman argumentation, but are there anyone who confidently argue for anything other than "It's not THAT bad"? Whether or not the new tavern pass system is better or worse than the old one is not worth discussing. The game is getting more expensive with the new mini sets, so we need to earn SIGNIFICANTLY more than before to make the game more affordable.
If we can't get all the cards from an expansion within 4 months of release without paying 100$ or more, then the new system is a failure, and the game continues to be extremely expensive.

You also get 7 rares and 1 epic card for reaching diamond 5. That's actually a lot of value if you don't have a complete collection.
EDIT: I just realised, you should absolutely get a free legendary every month if you reach legend.

Sure, I hope they change Mana Burn. It's one of the most frustrating cards to play against, no matter if you're aggro or control.
